Ethereum Classic



Ethereum Classic is a blockchain-based distributed computing platform that offers smart contract (scripting) functionality. Ethereum Classic maintains the original, unaltered history of the Ethereum blockchain prior to the controversial DAO hard fork in July 2016. It is now the largest smart contract platform secured by a proof-of-work consensus mechanism, following Ethereum’s transition to proof-of-stake in 2022. It is open source and supports a modified version of Nakamoto consensus via transaction-based state transitions executed on a public Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
